Also use the IM gasket for the 99-00 y8

- Wed Dec 02, 2009 3:13 am #159482 sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or ait pockets in coolant can cause it too. As well as a dirty IACV, FITV... there's a lot of things.

Usually it is vacuum leak, especially if you just put a new manifold on.
listen for a hissing noise under the hood and find where it is from.

Start car and let idle until up to normal operating temperature. Thermostat will open, if not give a tiny bit of gas. Keep topping off radiator with coolant when it gets low.
